When you buy your next new car it will almost certainly have this feature so why not save yourself a trip and stick to your current car
Seriously though it will be on the next new car you buy. For sure the dealer will not have a "standard" way to turn it off but some dealers may be willing to hack it off for you and others won't. Check to see of your dealer is willing to do this for you as part of the sale. In any case secondary market products are coming out of the woodwork to to undo this feature.
Also the time for the restart is barely noticeable but it makes no real difference in how long it takes to get rolling off from a light unless maybe you're are drag racing...
Some say it will wear out your starter sooner than it should. I'm not so sure that is true. This feature has been available on some trucks for at least ten years and I don't think there is any evidence it actually degrades starters.
